The Jordan

The world knew her as a jazz singer, with her signature shiny lipstick, diva voice and swing that would make the masters of the genre pale in comparison. But after having shone on the biggest stages, Caro Emerald launches her new project The Jordan, a natural, trip-hop version whose sensitivity and finesse always touch the heart.

"The freedom of starting with a new name is huge [...] but I didn't want to become someone else, I just wanted to be me", explains the singer. It's a quest for truth that this artist with a golden voice tells us with raw frankness. This voice becomes purer, more powerful, more bewitching and adds to the mystery when it is carried by these new trip-hop or folktronic sounds, far from the codified universe we know.

Her themes also reveal her. With questions of identity, new beginnings, determination and courage, one can feel the feverish creativity that has taken hold of the singer who does not hide her influences: Portishead, with whom she collaborated on her first album, for their incredible sound, Billie Eilish for her audacity and artistic talent. The result is stunning, the quasi-spiritual atmosphere and the piano melodies sublimate the luminescent voice of The Jordan. 

Even before the release of her first album, the Dutch artist has been creating anticipation with tracks distilled down to a trickle on the music streaming platforms. And in this new, raw authenticity, there is no doubt that her solo adventure is only just beginning.
